Nairobi, Kenya: Thursday, August 8, 2024: Internet Service Provider (ISP), Mawingu, has announced the expansion of its network to Bondo, in Siaya County, making affordable Internet accessible to households and businesses in the area.
This brings the number of counties to 29 that the ISP has connected to its network across the country.
In its first H2, 2024 progress update, Mawingu’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Farouk RAMJI says:
“Our expansion into Bondo marks another milestone towards our long-term vision of making meaningful connectivity accessible to more Kenyans. The digital economy in the country is rapidly expanding and we want to support more Kenyans to tap into the knowledge and connections that it provides.”
With more than 19,000 active customers, Mawingu remains committed to connecting towns and urban centres which have not been well served and generally neglected by other providers.
Mr. RAMJI adds:
“We will continue providing connectivity access to these areas, which have traditionally not been given priority due to the high capital cost and logistical complexities involved in ensuring a stable, reliable, and affordable service. This is in line with our long-term vision of offering meaningful Internet connectivity at very competitive price points comparative to other service providers, by building sustainable, flexible infrastructure in underserved regions.”
To further increase access to its network and improve Internet quality as part of its long-term strategy, Mawingu will be laying out 50 kilometres of fibre in some of its existing markets.
